We look at the division of 544532 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 544532 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 54 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 124 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 84 from 124 to get 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 405 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 378 from 405 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 273 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 273 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1296.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 252 from 273.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
212 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12965.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 210 from 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12965.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12965.04
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12965.047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12965.0476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12965.04761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12965.047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12965.047619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12965.04761904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12965.04761904, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
